  • Vehicle Theft Prevention Quick Reference Guide for the LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMUNITY FOREWORD
    •2011• Vehicle Theft Prevention Quick Reference Guide FOR THE LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMUNITY FOREWORD The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is responsible for establishing and enforcing vehicle antitheft regulations. Motor vehicle theft is a growing problem that results in billions of dollars in losses every year. NHTSA has developed this annual guide to provide the law enforcement community with a concise reference tool to help identify passenger motor vehicles that have been exempted from the parts-marking requirements through model year 2011 and also to assist law enforcement in their prosecution and motor vehicle theft prevention efforts. This new guide provides a quick-reference, comprehensive summary of the vehicles that have been installed with antitheft devices as standard equipment, identifying which vehicles are exempted from the parts-marking requirements, the type of exemption granted (partial or full), and the production year(s) for which the exemption applies. This and future versions of the Vehicle Theft Prevention Quick Reference Guide for the Law Enforcement Community will provide comprehensive information for vehicle lines. The parts-marking requirements have been extended to include: • all passenger cars, • all multipurpose passenger vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of 6,000 pounds or less, • all light-duty trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating of 6,000 pounds or less determined to be high-theft, and • all low-theft, light-duty trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating of 6,000 pounds or less having a majority of their major parts interchangeable with those of a passenger motor vehicle line subject to the theft prevention standard.

  • VW-Routan-2012-CA.Pdf
    Routan 2012 A new family favourite. We all know that a family vehicle needs to be functional. The Routan is most definitely functional. The 3.6L, 283-horsepower V6 engine helps. Same goes for the European-tuned suspension, immaculately designed and finished interior, head-turning good looks and entertaining features like second-row and available third-row 9-inch video screens, wireless headphones and remote control. Whether you’re behind its wheel or in its sliding second-row captain’s chairs, the Routan makes it easy for everyone to enjoy every single trip you take. The not-so-mini van. Don’t let its sleek exterior fool you – the Routan has plenty of room in store for you. Just poke your head through either one of the available dual power-sliding doors, and prepare to be impressed. From the standard sliding second-row captain’s chairs, to the under-floor storage, to the third-row seats with tailgating function, you’ll notice excellent uses of space everywhere. And if you fold everything down, you’ll just notice a lot of space (4 m3, in fact) that you can use for whatever you want. The more time you spend with the Routan, the more you start to realize that the name “minivan” just doesn’t apply here.

  • Volkswagen Routan 2009
    2009 VOLKSWAGEN ROUTAN The Routan minivan is a Dodge Grand Caravan/Chrysler Town & Country, reviewed and corrected by Volkswagen. Volkswagen’s redesign brings alterations to the front and rear, heftier seats and German tuning for the suspension and steering. The vehicle is otherwise all Chrysler but without the Stow ‘n Go and Swivel ‘n Go seats. The Routan is offered in Trendline, Comfortline, Highline and Execline trim levels. Interior and cargo area The front seats are easy to access and very comfortable, with very good side support. The driver’s seat has lumbar adjustment. The driving position is good, and headroom and legroom are generous. The wide doorsills make it difficult to execute a graceful exit. Access to the second row is easy. Comfort depends on the size of the occupant—the cushions are a bit short, and tall people find the seating a bit low. Volkswagen decided to pass on Chrysler’s Stow ‘n Go seats, which is a blow to functionality. The second-row seats have to be removed to make more space, and since they weigh a good 40 kg, that involves considerable effort. Access to the 60/40-split third-row bench is through the middle aisle between the second row, and it isn’t easy. Like almost all third-row seats, this one is unsuitable for anyone over average height. Cargo capacity is good even with the rear bench in place thanks to the space afforded by the compartment into which it folds, and very good when the seat is folded into the floor. Removing the second-row seats expands cargo space dramatically.

  • 2012 Volkswagen Routan Brochure
    Information Provided by: 2012 Routan Information Provided by: Better engineering for you. German engineering isn’t just about creating a faster car. Or a tighter ride. Or even the most fuel-efficient engine. We’re not merely designing the sleekest silhouette. Or the roomiest cargo space. Or the most breathtaking sunroof. And even though we place safety at the top of our list, we’re not in this solely to get recognition for our success. Or to break records. Or to add extra safety features just to be safe. At Volkswagen, we’re about all of these things happening together, beautifully and precisely, to create a car that’s actually fun to drive. Because we’re not just making any car, we’re making your car. That’s the power of German engineering. SE shown in Nocturne Black Metallic 01 | 02 Information Provided by: The Routan From the carpool to the fast lane. Let’s be honest. People need minivans. Because minivans accommodate a life full of strollers, groceries, and sports gear. Not to mention kids. Which is why the Routan— with room for seven, up to 144 cubic feet of storage space, and third-row fold-flat seats—is such a smart purchase. As if that wasn’t clever enough, add the available dual power-sliding doors with power windows and an available power liftgate in back for that extra boost of functionality. And, for the ultimate seal of approval, the Routan was named a 2011 Best Buy by Consumers Digest. Flexible, appealing, and safe, with the unmistakable Volkswagen performance that’s designed to bring out the kid in you.
